No it's not. You made the assertion that need should never justify a "reach" and I clarified that need is a consideration when determining who is the proper pick.
Like I said, if the 11th best prospect in the draft (I.E. the best prospect available at 11, in theory) were a RB, then I would not pick them. Because it's not a need.
By that logic, I'd be going for the 12th or 13th best prospect that does fit a need. And taking the 12th or 13th best player at the 11th spot in the draft is a "reach."
So need is, indeed, a justification for a "reach."
That was the basis of my argument in response to what you said.
You were the one that did not accurately attribute my argument.
